Even if you saw his name as pa let it snow, once you saw it as pale tits, you could not unsee that.

I am being asked to make the decision.

Dinner in Western Central Bergen County (by Paramus) tomorrow night figure 730-1030pm for the birthday dinner.

Will it be bad out then with heavier snow rates? Do we cancel or go?

[Wtkidz]

I will take my 10 flakes of snow and be happy. I knew my virtual snow would not last. This has been fun though and I look forward to doing it over and over in the future.

 

FYI   I think there may be a storm  NEXT MONTH   that we can start tracking.  kidding of course.

I287 and/or I80 then?  Seems like a lot of uncertainty for our parts.  Your birthday?  Pick a closer restarurant?

Who is driving and going?  Older folk (70's, 80's, etc...)?  If so, would cancel and reschedule.

 

This is the NAM 3K from 2 PM to 11 PM.  You'd be going right during the whole thing.

I would never give travel advice but it my experience there's usually no right answer. 

If you choose not to go and then the weather isn't bad they blame you.  

If you choose to go and it's dicey they blame you. 

Too easy to be wrong when it comes to snow and travel.

True.  I'd rather err on the side of caution.

Thanks for the replies.

Restaurant is on Rt 17 by Paramus. SUV and no one elderly. I guess the question was not so much can it be driven in the conditions, but if from 7-1030 is it expected to be heavy snow then like the worst of it, or will that be a period of possibly lighter snizzle, etc. Been looking at amounts but trying to gauge when the heavier white stuff will occur for that area.

You may not know about the heaviness until that day or at that time.  That is all iffy right now.  You could chance it, pick a new place closer to your homes, or reschedule.

So many questions.

Who are you traveling with?

Going by horse and buggy?

What's being served at dinner?

Who will be there?

Comfortable Chairs?
